The Impact of Sleep Duration on Health Is Bigger Than You Think
Recently, while using a sleep tracking app, I realized my sleep pattern is a mess. Average 5 hours 30 minutes... There are also research findings showing that immunity is lower compared to those who sleep 7 hours or more.
For now, I'm going to start by making my bedtime consistent. Also, not keeping my phone next to the bed. If anyone has methods that worked for improving sleep quality, please share.

Agreed, and hair loss is coming too.
I increased my sleep from 6 hours to 7 hours and 30 minutes, and after about a month, the number of colds noticeably decreased. Of course, it varies by person, but 5 hours really seems too little.
Well, those studies seem to hold true only for certain people. I'm perfectly fine with 5 hours of sleep, so I can't really relate to judging it purely by hours.
Do you have a source?
Putting away your phone is good, but fixing your sleep schedule worked best for me. Not sleeping in on weekends is harder than I thought, but once I tried it, I definitely slept more deeply.
I tried a sleep app too, and it said 4 hours 50 minutes lol. That was really shocking. These days, I drink warm water before bed and put on ASMR instead of YouTube.
The average is a trap. Some people sleep seven hours and still feel sleepy during the day, while others are energetic even after five. I think it's just important to find the pattern that suits you.
This is true lol I also increased my sleep hours and my skin got better.
